Born in Detroit, Michigan, I grew up as a University of Michigan and Detroit pro sports fan. I later moved down south to live with my new family.

When I'd turned 18, I enlisted in the military and served in the first Gulf War. During my military career, I was stationed in Germany, Oklahoma and Cuba.

I'd traveled to over 13 countries during that span, either as a soldier, or as a tourist. I'd been to many places, had met various cultures and had done many things; not really sure if some of the things I'd done, during that timespan, were legal... Hmmm...?

You can tell by reading the previous line that I am a humorist. I don't intend to make people laugh, but it just seems to come out that way. So I really hope this part of my personality really comes out in my articles.

I'm also a very political person; politics is my speciality; so expect some politics to find its way into some of my articles.

All-in-all, I expect that it will take time for you to get used to me. One day you might love me, the other day, you might hate me; it all boils down to any pertenent facts I uncover.

If the facts are favorable, you'll like my articles; if the facts are unfavorable, feel free to print my article on toilet paper. But let there be no doubt, I will not cover up any information, for the sake of pursuing any agenda or fame.

The late President John F. Kennedy asked of anyone who writes articles, with the 1st amendment in mind to, "inform, to arouse, to reflect; to state our dangers and our opportunities; to indicate our crisis and our choices; to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger, public opinion." . I will not let his request down, and I expect the same from you.

I hope, for the most part, that you do enjoy my articles; for I do enjoy writing them and I definitely enjoy the thought that any of my articles making someone's day.
